It includes a way to find missing Ship Lists, known as Manifests, on the Ellis Island Database with help tools for the US Census and other records too. Take your time and examine each link carefully as his site links to FREE Lookups and "Pay-To-View" links too. The Morse site is easier, faster and more effective to use than many of the government and/or professional pay-to-view sites.

Contact the US National Archives and Records Administration - NARA is very helpful when you need to find Ships Passenger Arrival Records, especially for those ship arrivals in other ports than New York. It is best if you have a good idea of the arrival date and other details. They will do a simple search for you if you provide them with enough information. The cost is minimal if they find something and you want copies. Some of the larger facilities have the full 20 volume set of "Italians to America" and will do a lookup. I found them to be very helpful and easy to deal with. I recommend NARA over any other "service", as are not profit motivated although they require reasonable reimbursement for expenses like photocopies and mailing.
